Punta Cana isn't a nomad city in the classic sense — it's a 30-km all-inclusive resort strip wrapped around PUJ, the second-busiest airport in the Caribbean. Bávaro and Cortecito are the walkable beach corridors where nomads who skip the all-inclusive bracket actually base; Cap Cana is the gated golf-and-marina enclave. Fiber works inside most condo developments (Claro and Altice both push 300+ Mbps). The DR's 30-day tourist card is automatic on arrival for most western passports and extends in-country with minimal friction. Skip if you want culture — Santo Domingo's 2-hour drive away is where that lives.
